Unlimited "Glenn Beck is a nutter" thread

[AFK]

Given the longevity of Rush's career....I would advise against holding your breath.

OK, so Glen Beck's latest plan is a fantasy style "Citadel of Freedom" (no pinkos allowed), a walled libertarian community which will be entirely self-sustaining, because libertarians don't believe in trade with the corrupted outside world or something.  I don't know.

Anyway, it's patently bullshit, but it's also an excellent scam.

Why?

Firstly, the processing fee.  Simply to apply, you have to give Beck $208 dollars.  No refunds if you don't make the cut.  So long to your money, suckers!

Secondly, no-one will be able to own property in the Citadel.  Everyone will be renting from Glen Beck. 

It's a brilliant scam, I must say.

How is it no one else has picked up on this interesting tidbit?

[Cain]

Because they didn't do the research

Like the libertarian paradise of China, you will only be able to lease, not own, property.

So, the proper term would be "Free Market Serfdom"?

Which is fitting, when you consider the place has clearly been modelled on a D&D castle.

The "aerial concept" map reminded me very much of this random city map generator.

Also, I'm not all that much of a military guy, but how much good is a castle in an age of indirect artillery fire and, you know, aircraft?

[LMNO]

Or UNMANNED DRONES.

[Junkenstein]

Well I'm sure that's what the Firearms museum and Arms factory is there for. Because that's what a progressive society looks like.

I support this endeavour. Who wouldn't want to see Waco on crack?

Oh, THIS isn't chilling...

So this is basically LARPing for tea party types, right?  I say we encourage this, on the condition that they live by their word and promise to lock themselves in and never, ever emerge again.

What it is, is retarded. It's a childish fantasy.

[Mesozoic Mister Nigel]

One of the major challenges for making the Citadel a reality instead of remaining a dream is the ability to:

    Help make it affordable for Patriots to move in with little money down
    Keep costs competitive or cheaper than equal housing costs elsewhere across the country
    Get rid of the banks' ridiculous 20% deposit rule, then,
    Make sure our residents can find work!

Uhhhhh good luck with that.

[Mesozoic Mister Nigel]

OMG HAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Remember, your home requires zero down payment, zero interest, no background check and no credit check... and your Lease is for Life.

Like half of it is making sure there are enough guns.  I know that's important to these people, but half of their founding document?
